Abstract

This report presents electricity, natural gas and cooling baselines for the thermal plant,
buildings located in the 87000 block, and the III Corp building at Ft. Hood. A baseline
analysis is also presented for the natural gas consumption for the Ft. Hood Army base. The
baselines developed for this report include data measured during 2001/2002 for the thermal
plant, 87000 block buildings, and III Corp building and natural gas data recorded over a
several year period. Baseline analyses are presented for individual channels and groups of
channels that represent loads determined to be of value to Ft. Hood. Preliminary baselines
are also presented on new buildings for which manual data were provided for 2002. However, additional data collection is recommended for these buildings before
accurate baseline can be developed.
This report is divided into different sections that correspond to the different baseline analysis
that were performed on the measured loads, including: an analysis of the chiller
performance, an analysis of the weather-dependent channels at the thermal plant, baseline
models for the 87000 block manual readings, III Corp building, and a whole-base natural
gas baseline analysis. A description of the analysis methods is provided in the introduction.
Additional details that pertain to the data that were collected are provided in each section.
An appendix is also provided that includes information about the data logger parameter sets,
and the daily data recorded manually for the 87000 block buildings, and daily data recorded
manually for the new buildings.
